We’ll be asking this same question every Thursday, and using your answers all week to write the following Thursday’s post. Not only do we plan to quote our favorite responses, but we would also like to create a short list every time of some of the most read (or watched, or listened to) pieces you mention.

So let us know, and don’t be afraid to treat this feature like a conversation, replying to each other and hitting “recommend" to highlight the comments you especially like.

Are there any rules?

Not really.

Though this may sound a lot like our Summer Reading Contest — and it should, because it was our inspiration — this is more open-ended and less defined. We don’t have any idea what this will become; it will all depend on what you post and where you want the conversation to go.

What if you don’t have a subscription to NYTimes.com?
